I Know

Words & Music:

Milton Davis & William Duvall

 

This was a hit for Dionne Farris in 1995.  Enjoy.  I am not 100% sure of the chords coming out of the second chorus & into the bridge section (literally doing it by ear without an instrument).  Let me know if you think changes should be made.

 

A   F#m   G  A

 

                   A

I know what you're doing, yeah, I know why you dialed my number.

                   F#m    G                    A

I know what you're doing, yeah, I know why you care.

I know what you're doing, yeah, I know why you say you love me.

I know what you're doing, yeah, and I don't think it's fair.

 

PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS 1:

               F#m       G                      F#m        G

I know why you dialed my number; I know why you say you're mine.

                   F#m       G                        A

I know what you're doing and it's not gonna work this time.

A

Not gonna work this time.

 

I know what you're doing, yeah; I can never sing in that key.

I know what you're doing, yeah, and you're the one to blame.

I know what you're doing, yeah; I know why you can't forgive me.

I know why you're singing, lost love, the lyrics haven't changed.

 

PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS 2:

I can recognize the symptoms; you should know I've changed my mind.

                   F#m       G

I know what you're doing and it's not gonna work this...

 

BRIDGE:

   E   B        G                                   E   B  G

...time------.  Yeah, said it's not gonna work this time-----.

(G)                 E    B   G                      E    B   G   A

Not gonna work this time-----.  Not gonna work this time-----.

 

I know what you're doing, baby, I know why you call my name.

I know why you say you love me, but I can't say the same.

 

PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS 2 REPRISE:

[ends on A over the word "time" instead of the bridge segue - quick out]
